boyet Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Joshua Harris....the author of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and "Boy Meets Girl" Wow! I never tought someone from MTC would read that book (I kissed dating goodbye). I read it two years ago due to overwhelming depression...I might read it again :cry: eventually... I'm still hooked with Anne Rice's novels. Halos matapos ko na yung 8 libro nya sa Vampire chronicles and I'm still planning to continue 'till the very last book. Plano ko rin basahin yung mga erotica novel nya with Beauty. Mukhang ok kasi dark ang erotic yung novel. I just hope I'll be able to find the first book ...there's one erotic novel I've read with the title "Exploits of the young Don Juan"...lupit nun!!! Grabe nakalimutan ko lang yung author kasi ang tagal na nung nabasa ko yun. Nabasa ko na din yung "Alchemist" ni Paulo Coelho; "Tuesdays with Morrie" ni Mitch Albom (syet naiyak ako dito); a couple of Robert Ludlum novels; "Amistad" ni David Pesci at hindi ko na maalala yung iba pa...

Elai Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Charlotte Bronte author of Jane Eyre. It is the story of an orphan who later becomes a governess and finds a lover. This was Bronte’s most successful novel and it remains her most famous work. Much of Jane Eyre is said to be based on Charlotte’s own unhappy childhood. Quote Link to comment
